  • My Pixel 7 battery lasts all day. (From 8am to 11pm typically )

    I usually spend a solid 6 hours a day on the phone with a Bluetooth headset, and I also listen to mp3s that are stored on my phone for a couple of hours. I text, email, use Lemmy and the web regularly, play on lichess.org, but I never stream videos or do video calls.

    Around 11pm, the battery is below 20%. If I spend more time on the phone than usual, then I have to recharge around 7 or 8pm to make sure I still have enough power through the evening. Audio calling with an app like Skype, WhatsApp, WeChat, or Zoom uses more battery than with a regular phone call.

    On an off day, with no more than 2 or 3 hours on the phone, my battery is still at 45% at 11pm, sometimes even almost 60. I feel I could skip charging it overnight if I had 2 off days in a row.

    Recently I upgraded to a pixel 8, and the battery life is the same, even though I have twice as much memory, and I turned on most of the bells and whistles to test them out.

    My 6-month old pixel 7 is now used by an elderly person who just texts occasionally, makes short calls and checks the newsfeed/weather. The battery now lasts at least 2 days, probably more.
